Blizzard of 2013

Well winter storm Nemo has come and gone. We had a total of around 30” of snow here in central Connecticut. Ive never seen anything like it. Ill spare the sob story about how sore i am but after 6 hours of snow blowing and shoveling the driveway is clear enough to get out.

-- Its not a crack, its a casting imperfection.

We haven’t had anything like y’all have been getting, but the dawg awaiting a non belly ticklerin the snow is a cool shot, our son’s dashie gets real nervious if it touches his tummy..low clearance, maybe 2”..

I’ve been wondering when someone was gonna start one of these threads.

Wow your story is similar to ours. Between 30” and 36” took my wife and I 6.5 hours to do. Unfortunately my big 8HP snow blower is broken (i really need to get it fixed) so we did it all by hand and with a little paddle snowblower.

Here is a few pics.

Really glad I had one sliding glass door otherwise I would have had to drop out a window.

We were spared the brunt of the storm, only 10” of snow, here in the Champlain Valley of Vermont. I did three – 8 hour plowing, blowing & shoveling shifts in a 32 hour work day, I work for a property maintenance company. You seem to have managed rather well. Glad to hear it! That reminds me, I need to contact family on Long Island & see if they fared well.

BTW: Great pictures!!!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow! If good things come to those who wait.... Why is procrastination a bad thing?

Glad to hear both you guys fared all right. Barry were you in state for 78? Curious a to how this one compares. We will need to call a LJ meeting at Eli’s very soon. I should be able to slide out after the baby hits the sack now that hes on a schedule. .

We got about 32”. What sucks is everywhere I had to shovel decided to be the prefect place for a snow drift. The plow left a 47” pile at the end of the driveway. I put in a solid 7 hours, my wife put in a solid 3 and held down the fort (kids and dinner). My snowblower was 100% useless. I had to restart it so many times I broke the pull cord within 15 minutes of using it. This is one of those storms I wish I had a drift breaker. We finished shoveling just in time to get the important stuff done – run over to Home depot and pick up a Ridgid oscillating spindle sander.

I thought great danes hated snow, but not mine. He thinks it’s the greatest thing that ever happened in his whole (7 month) life
